Regional analyses of streamflow characteristics
H. C. Riggs
1973, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 04-B3
This manual describes various ways of generalizing streamflow characteristics and evaluates the applicability and reliability of each under various hydrologic conditions. Several alternatives to regionalization are briefly described....
United States Geological Survey Alaska program, 1973
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1973, Circular 683
This report on the Alaskan activities of the U.S. Geological Survey contains up-to-date accounts of recent results and summaries of plans for the summer of 1973. It is organized in six parts: (1) responsibilities and services of the Geological Survey; (2) organization of the U.S. Geological Survey; (3) Alaskan field...
Occurrence and distribution of selected metals in streams near Huntsville, Alabama
E. R. German, Alfred L. Knight
1973, Circular 679
Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and zinc are widely distributed around Huntsville, Ala. However, concentrations of these metals in streamflow in the vicinity of the Huntsville municipal water intake during June, August, and September 1971 did not exceed the limits recommended for a public drinking water supply. The occurrence...
CRIB; the mineral resources data bank of the U.S. Geological Survey
James Alfred Calkins, Olaf Kays, Eleanor K. Keefer
1973, Circular 681
The recently established Computerized Resources Information Bank (CRIB) of the U.S. Geological Survey is expected to play an increasingly important role in the study of United States' mineral resources. CRIB provides a rapid means for organizing and summarizing information on mineral resources and for displaying the results. CRIB consists of...
Electric-analog simulation network of unconsolidated aquifers in the upper Wabash River basin, Indiana
James E. Heisel
1973, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-29
The ground-water budget of the unconsolidated deposits in the upper Wabash River basin was modeled. An electrical-simulation network was used to determine an integrated storage coefficient of 0.003 for the basin. Two practical problems were investigated: a municipal pumping problem and the change in flow regime due to the addition...
Water facts and figures for planners and managers
John Henry Frederick Feth
1973, Circular 601-I
Water is defined in terms of its chemical composition and dominant physical properties, such as expansion on freezing and high surface tension. Water on the earth is about 97 percent in the seas, 2 percent in glacier ice, principally Greenland and Antarctica. Man is left with less than 1 percent...
Geology and quality of water in the Modesto-Merced area, San Joaquin Valley, California, with a brief section on hydrology
R. W. Page, Gary O. Balding
1973, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-6
The Modesto-Merced area includes about 1,800 square miles on the northeast side of the San Joaquin Valley. The physiographic units in the area are (1) Sierra Nevada, (2) dissected uplands, (3) low alluvial plains and fans, (4) river flood plains and channels, and (5) overflow lands.Geologic units consist of consolidated...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in small drainage basins in Idaho
C.A. Thomas, W. A. Harenberg, J.M. Anderson
1973, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-7
A method is presented in this report for determining magnitude and frequency of floods on streams with drainage areas between 0.5 and 200 square miles. The method relates basin characteristics, including drainage area, percentage of forest cover, percentage of water area, latitude, and longitude, with peak flow characteristics. Regression equations...
